About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊

“I was nervous leaving my cat Bowie for our first trip away, and I think Bowie was a little nervous at first too, but they quickly became good friends! Nicole was super communicative throughout our trip, and we truly felt like we had left Bowie with a trusted friend. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will 100% be booking with Nicole again!”

About: I've had the pleasure to be able to care for and have my own fluffy friend. I have dog sat for several families I used to nanny for, friends and family. I would be so happy to help you and your pet(s) I currently work a hybrid schedule where I can make my own hours so whenever you need someone I can make myself available any day! I cannot board because I have my own little fur baby but I can walk, feed, and care for your pet. Let me know when and where!

About: Ever since I can remember there's been a dog in the house. From English Mastiffs to Cava-poos, Boxers to Golden-doodles-I've had my fair share of caring for gentle giants and forever puppies. I currently have a doodle as well as a tabby cat, and yes, I do consider them as my children. I'm comfortable with any breed, and will always ensure they get the best care while you're away! While I do work full-time, I follow teacher hours and am fortunately out by about 3 PM. This will give me the afternoons/evenings free for play and dinner time. For the pups, I'll be able to bring them for a walk, to play fetch, cuddle up on the couch, etc. In your home, I will abide by your guidelines to a T-whether that involves a strict eating/bathroom-ing schedule, administering medications, exercise routines, crate-training, etc. I am a very clean person and do not mind washing bowls or vacuuming some fur whenever necessary.

About: I started caring for animals back in 2010 walking and pet sitting my art teacher's dog. Then, in 2016, I began volunteering at a horse boarding facility. I spent a winter there learning how to bathe, feed, turn out, clean up after and care for horses. I learned about their different personalities and eventually tried riding (I wasn't very good at it.) Since then I have been looking for more opportunities to spend time with animals! I currently volunteer at a local animal shelter, assisting in the well-being of rescue cats and dogs. We play outside, go for walks, and socialize! Safe handling and open communication with fellow volunteers and pet owners is always a priority. General care such as cleaning, laundry, and medication administration are also things I can assist with. I have two beautiful black cats at home named Luna and Cleo. They are very vocal and sweet, and I love spending time with them. They love treats and bird TV. We are also fostering a small cat named Rosie who needs a little extra patience. She is a very loving cat overall, but is still getting used to her new environment. As far as my schedule, I work a regular job during the week, and on weekends I volunteer at an animal shelter. Im looking to fill gaps in my schedule by spending more time with animals and gaining as much experience as I can. Weekends and nights are open for me to take jobs helping with other peoples animal friends. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed, and am also comfortable around anxious or stressed animals. I will be diligent in keeping all the animals safe from harm by paying close attention to their body language, behavior, and their individual needs.

About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my personalized approach to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience working with all age groups, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and patience. I treat every dog like my own, providing not just supervision but genuine love, attention, and playtime tailored to their personality. Whether it's active walks for high-energy dogs or gentle companionship for the more relaxed ones, I create a safe and enjoyable environment. My priority is your pet's happiness and well-being. As someone who works fully remote, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have the flexibility to provide frequent check-ins, regular walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day.

Whether it’s midday potty breaks, extra playtime, or a calming presence during the workday, I can provide dedicated care while managing my remote responsibilities. I tailor my pet care approach based on whether I’m at home or at the client's home, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for every pet. In My Home: Safe Space: I have a pet-friendly home with a secure yard, ensuring a safe area for dogs to play and relax. I also have pet-proofed spaces to prevent any accidents. Routine: I establish a daily routine that includes regular feeding times, play sessions, and bathroom breaks, providing consistency that pets thrive on. Socialization: If the client is comfortable, I offer socialization opportunities with my own pets, creating a fun and engaging environment. Comfort: I provide cozy spots for resting, toys for play, and a calming atmosphere to help reduce any anxiety. In the Client’s Home: Familiar Environment: I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine and comfort by following their normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime. Daily Updates: I send regular updates and photos to the pet owner, keeping them informed and reassured about their pet’s well-being. Special Needs: I’m attentive to any special requirements, such as medication schedules or specific dietary needs, to ensure the pet receives the best care possible. Security: I take extra care to ensure the home remains secure and tidy, treating it with respect and following any house rules set by the owner. Whether at my home or the client's, my goal is to provide loving, attentive care that keeps pets happy and healthy!

I currently have two very loving, social dogs who enjoy meeting both people and other animals. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care while they’re with me.

I’m able to make visits between clients and provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. I’m also available for boarding and can accommodate different routines based on each pet’s individual needs. My home is set up with pet safety and comfort in mind. I keep medications, food, and anything potentially harmful safely out of reach. I use separate food dishes and feeding areas for guest pets and my own dogs to help prevent food related conflicts. I also have dog gates throughout the home so pets can be safely separated when needed, along with a spacious area where they can play and relax. My two dogs are very friendly and enjoy the company of both people and other animals.
